Restaurant & Retail Loyalty Rewards Programs

Tag Archives: Millennials Restaurant Usage

Last month we released our 2014 consumer study on attitudes and behavior regarding restaurant rewards programs. The study yielded great insights especially with respect to certain consumer segments we explored in the analysis of the results. The Millennials sub-segment is one of great interest to restaurant operators because those among the Millennials group with household incomes of $75,000 per year or more are much more engaged with restaurants and with restaurant rewards programs.

This group visits restaurants more and is more likely to visit restaurants for both business and pleasure. They participate in far more restaurant rewards programs and they are more motivated by restaurant rewards programs. It’s not surprising that they’re more heavily engaged in technology than the older segments of the population. They’re the group that is much more interested in using a mobile app to manage their interaction with rewards programs. They’re also much more likely to use online ordering (through a website and a mobile app) and use services such as Open Table, Yelp, Urban Spoon and Trip Advisor.
